These proverbs give us helpful instruction for traveling the road of life which we must all travel along.

The Miserable Son And The Maddened Sibling

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 24, 2022

Was the miserable son wasteful? Why did the father not punish the young son, if he deserved it? Was the maddened son self-centered and resentful?

Humble Thyself

Contributed by Tim Carpenter on Feb 13, 2019

Do not exalt yourself. Do not be prideful. Do not claim to be the best at anything, even if it's true. You are not really 10 ft. tall and bullet proof. Even Superman has weakness. Pride is our Kryptonite.
